Delicious burgers and yummy wings! We both had Capt Ben burgers and these were juicy and very filling! The side choices were awesome at no extra charge, side salad was excellent and loved the salsa and chips too! The atmosphere is very nice and nautical. We definitely will return again!

We had been to Floyd's in April right after it reopened from the hurricane. It was enjoyable, but not outstanding. Then we went again a couple of weeks ago. Before we went this time, we looked at the menu online and some reviews of particular dishes. Someone raved about an appetizer - Shrimp Napoleon. My wife decided to have it as a main course since neither she nor I are heavy eaters. She couldn't eat it all because the dish was so large, so she enjoyed it again a day or so later. I tried a little to see if it interested me, and it was delicious! Next time that will be MY choice. We don't usually eat appetizers for a main course, but this one was a winner.By the way, I had a Reuben with fries. The Reuben was OK - not the absolute best that I have ever had, but OK. However, the fries were to write home about. Crispy and delicious.

We all enjoyed our fun night out at the grill. We all tried a different dish and all enjoyed our food. The clam chowder was different from any Iâve eaten before but was tasty. It was a little noisy for my taste, so if you like peace and quiet pick another restaurant.

My family had lunch there on a hot summer day when we were at the beach. We preferred to sit outside under the shade of enormous trees to enjoy the cool breeze rather than eat in the car. The gulls which were pretty aggressive and loud in their cries hovered dangerously close at times wanting a bite of our food. But it all added to the casual atmosphere. I tried the super oyster burger which was really good. The shrimp burger, hot dogs, burgers and fries were good too. Everyone enjoyed.

The place accommodates many different people.When we were seated,we noticed there was going to be a singer and were we delighted. It seemed to lift all our spirits from the storm outside.My seafood pasta was sublime..I've never had roasted red pepper sauce--yum! The wine average priced and then came dessert...triple chocolate cheesecake...yum!

Small quaint old house setting in Morehead. Definitely not a tourist trap and exceptional service and food quality. Mostly daily special and small menus with great selection. Love the cozy feel of this house with limited seating which makes for special attention to service. Reservation required and worth it! Butch is on time and waited on us each visit as well as took our reservation when we called. We will be back to keep trying the specialty items!

Had breakfast this am at The Banks Grill and it lived up to the reviews. The service was very good and there was a number employees working. We arrived early and had only a short wait. Portions were large, prices were good, coffee was great and the grits were some of the best we have had. The biscuits were large, light and delicious. A great breakfast spot!

There is no other way to describe it. Yes, it's crowded, but the food and service are outstanding. The shrimp and scallops over pasta were better than ever. It's not too much pasta and the sauce is light and just right. I've never had local scallops any better. My wife's tuna was perfect for her. The Key Lime pie is a perfect finish. Add drinks and wonderful service by Amber and you will do no better on the Crystal Coast.

We were visiting the area and our Morehead City friends insisted we visit their favorite restaurant. What excellent fresh fish we had and we wish it was located in our hometown. I had the ahi tuna with toasted sesame. It was extremely delicious and a lot of it. Shrimp and Grits, Shrimp and Scallop Scallop Alfredo and Tomato Basil Tuna were fully enjoyed by the others. So there isn't anything to warn you about but, instead, just enjoy a delicious dining experience.
